Not quite. ctypes (or more exactly: the PyGILState_Ensure() and PyGILState_Release() functions, which are the standard API to do this) is in a situation where it must call Python code from a thread which has no PyThreadState. So it creates a thread state, runs the code, and destroys the thread state; is this wrong?
If you want to keep Python state during your C thread, there are 4 lines to add to your function:
void *async_cb(void *dummy)
{
PyGILState_STATE gstate = PyGILState_Ensure();
Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
(*callback_fn)();
(*callback_fn)();
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
PyGILState_Release(gstate);
pthread_exit(NULL);
}

resolution: -> works for me
status: open -> closed
